Farrow chose the Owls over offers from several FBS schools, including Tulane, USF, Maryland, Indiana, NC State, Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech, and Marshall. He is rated as a three-star defender by Rivals. “I chose FAU because they have shown love from day one, and its feels like home”, said Farrow on his decision to become an Owl. “Coach Cibene has been recruiting me hard recruiting since he got there”. He joins the Owls as the 17th member of the 2025 class, becoming the third edge defender alongside Cameron Gooden and Josh Roberts. “I plan on bringing both my high intensity and skill set to the team next season”, Farrow said. “There are already some dogs on the team, so I’m just going to have to build on that and make an impact.” Farrow’s aggressive style and consistent pressure on the quarterback will fit seamlessly into FAU’s defensive schemes, enhancing their pass rush and overall defensive capabilities.
